The past week has been a very eventful one for Singer/Writer/Producer Frank Ocean. Last week via his Tumblr page, he admitted to the public that his first love had been with another man suggesting he was either gay or bisexual. A day following that his live tour (which is set to start July 13th) sold out and last night he performed his new single Bad Religion on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Needless to say this guy has had a lot of media attention on him and as a long-time fan, I’m glad. Ocean’s almost timid, mumbling singing voice is so unique, it’s unlike that of any other other R’n'B artist. It makes you focus inattentively to each and every lyric to understand exactly the story he is conveying. To add to his unique voice, the dude is such a production genius. Along with producing almost all of his own stuff, he has had a hand in helping the likes of Kanye and Jay-Z on the Watch the Throne album and Beyonce on her newest piece of work 4, to name a few. Needless to say this guy is unbelievable and his album channel ORANGE (which just dropped this morning on iTunes) is a MUST download!
